A Devon woman has been left needing emergency surgery after she was mown down by a delivery driver in a row over a takeaway curry.

Hannah Harris, 21, said that the driver, who was delivering her order from an Indian takeaway in Torquay, drove at her and deliberately ran her over after an argument about her food order.

She has been left with an ankle broken in several places, and underwent 2.5 hours of surgery yesterday, Sunday December 3, as well as a broken wrist, tyre tracks across her stomach and left leg and a bump to her head.

The driver also punched her partner, Sam Weeder in the face - leaving him battered and bloodied, reports Devon Live.

The incident started at around 8pm, on Wednesday November 29, in St Margaret’s Road, St Marychurch, when Hannah ordered a takeaway.

“Unfortunately, by the time it arrived, I had fallen asleep," said Hannah.

"So when my fiancé Sam answered the door, he told the delivery driver that we did not want the food after all, as he did not realise I had ordered it.”

Sam Weeder, 24, Hannah’s fiancé, said: “The driver was furious, insisting that we had ordered and must pay for the food. He then grabbed me and started attacking me. He was punching me in the face in the road outside our home.

Hannah woke up because of the noise and ran outside the house. When she realised what was going on, she tried to stop the fight and take pictures as evidence.

She explained: “When the delivery driver saw I was taking pictures, he got in his car and drove straight at me, fast, for about 2-3 metres. I was thrown onto his bonnet and clung to his car as he drove down the road around 50 metres.
